Me: Berkeley is Cal.

Supe: Berkeley is in California. But what's Cal.

Me: Cal is Berkeley. Berkeley is Cal. University of California

Supe: So Cal is the University of California? So UCSD is Cal?

Me: No! Berkeley is Cal. Cal is Berkeley. Berkeley is UC Berkeley. Berkeley was the first UC.

Supe: Huh?

Me: **walked away**

Ugh i've had this conversation with my mom. Whenever she explained what school I was at she said "oh epchick is at Cal State." I always got aggrivated and would practically scream out "UGH!!! I go to Cal State East Bay!" I don't think she understands the concept that there is more than one Cal State. lol
